The Pennsylvania man whose family reported him missing last week has been reunited with his relieved clan – after he saw his photo in The Post.

Joe Colangeli, 47, of Bushkill, Pa., left his job in the Wall Street area last Monday but didn’t resurface until Friday – his fourth day of hanging out in Central Park after a nervous breakdown, his family said.

The family said Colangeli, idly watching a softball game, picked a copy of Friday’s Post from a nearby trash container and, on Page 27, saw his own photo.

It was underneath a headline reading: “Pa. man missing after leaving Wall St. job.”

“It smacked him in the face,” his wife, Dawn Colangeli, said yesterday. “He said, ‘What am I doing?’ And he called home. I owe the New York Post a lot of thanks.

“Without that picture, I don’t know what would have happened. Thank you so much for that picture.”

Family spokesman Rick Friedman agreed.

“Thanks to you and The Post for helping something good happen,” he e-mailed The Post.

Bill Jackson, a cousin, said Colangeli told him he’d had a nervous breakdown and is now seeing a doctor.

The two spoke by phone Sunday morning when Colangeli admitted to sleeping on benches while killing time for four days.

“Basically, he cried,” Jackson said of the emotional conversation.

“He’s going to see a psychiatrist to help him out,” said Dawn Colangeli.

Dawn Colangeli, whose husband works as a building engineer at 7 Hanover Square near Wall Street, blamed the self-diagnosed nervous breakdown on “pressures and stress that got to him.”

Colangeli had been working double shifts for six days a week over the past 18 months, Jackson said.

He also clocked hundreds of hours commuting by bus between Pennsylvania and Manhattan over the period, the family said.

Dawn Colangeli said she and the family plastered the Wall Street area with fliers last week as well as the Pennsylvania bus stop where her husband caught his transportation to the Port Authority bus terminal here.

But nothing worked until Colangeli grabbed something to read while he was watching the softball game.

“He’s fine,” said Dawn Colangeli. “He just kind of snapped.

“But he saw the picture in the paper, and everything came through. I can only say thank you for that picture.”
